"It's something I think is pretty cool, and I get a chance to intermingle with the younger fans and the people who are trying to make a difference in the community," Wright said. "It's just something that I always wanted to be a part of."

"Buses for Baseball" is anchored by the MLB Players Trust, and is geared to give underprivileged children an authentic ballpark experience. Tuesday's visit to Wrigley Field was the program's final stop of the season.

"Baseball has given me everything I have pretty much," Wright said. "It's opened doors for me to a lot of different situations and allowed me to see places that I probably would've never seen before. So I'm just grateful for the game, for what it's given to me. I just want to give something back, hopefully help someone else achieve their dreams."
